US congressman calls for end to Pak aid

WASHINGTON : US Congressman Dana Rohrabacher has called upon the government to stop Pakistan’s aid as “Islamabad is not a US ally”. Addressing the US House of Representatives, the Congressman said Pakistan’s aid should immediately be stopped as the US funds were used against Washington or its friends in Afghanistan. Reacting to Secretary of State John Kerry’s appeal for financial aid for Islamabad, Rohrabacher dubbed Pakistan’s war against militants as bogus and a ploy to receive the US dollars.He was quoted by the US media as saying that behaviour of Pakistan’s military establishment had not been friendly with regard to the US interests.
